Badboy011 ,

I am really impressed

This is hands down best pixelart painting app on iOS. But also it might be best overall for my workflow so I may say goodbye to my beloved aseprite soon.
Thanks for feature complete app.

Nice app but there are missings in UI

I really liked the app. I bought the full version. But i can’t apply clipping mask. And when i search in internet i can’t find any resource :( UI is kinda weird. It is good but some things really hard to find. I wish UI was more like Procreate’s UI. Developer is very helpful. He responds very quickly.
